live in the midst of the malarial dis.
tricts of Maryland, near the city. ol
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences OF the impure all
and water of that region.
Being naturally of strong consti-
tuition, had frequently boasted that
no chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con-
dition in which found myself six
months ago. | first noticed that 1 did
not feel SO sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. l fit tired and
enervated. Soon l noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with pro:use gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as bell, would feel heavy
and I began to have heas. .,ches.
The cold stage was mar, dwith chat
tering of the teeth, severe sors passed
over me, and no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. 1'il- chill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
] seemed to be burning up, the con.
gestion in my head produced violent
pain in the frontal portion and heat
ed sensation of the eyelid 5. with an in.
describable aching of the over limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox-
ysms passed off was thoroughly pros
trated by weakness that was felt in
every part of me.
drugged myself with quinine, and
obtained some relief. BIZ. NY respite
was of brief duration. l as now SO
much reduced that Icould ..,rdly walk
or stand upright. My disease soon
eliminated in a continued .l1alarial fe
yer which kept me closely conhnedf for
about week. became exceedingly
depressed and melancholy, SO much 50
that | lost interest in my work, and,
indeed, scarcely cared viii; happened
to me.
During all thi time, it n.::st be un-
derstood that ! e',.lnot neg It medical
treatment All the mo-. powerful
remedies were tried, such IL liquid ar
senate of potasi,, valerial.-. of iron,
mercury, bromide of pota ium, chic
ride of bismuth, .cI,inoeline. .,inchoni-
dia, quinine and several others. All
this l did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
Itwas while l was in this deplorable
condition that the claim, made for
Kaskine, the new 1uinine, as specific
for malaria, were first brc..: hit to my
attention. Ikn .ynot!,ing i its value
to justify my haH pg any co:..dence in
it, but as every;ii. .'g. else hid failed I
deemed it my du. J to try ii so began
its use, and its prompt anti .adical ef-
fects were of the T.iturc of :, revelation
to me. Many ptople ma, think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is
fact that after only few days use of
Kaskne all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abated or
ceased altogether; and in few weeks
from the time | took the first dose I
was cured
This was about the first Of January,
and since then Lave experienced no
recurrence Of the malarial symptoms
in any form. A remedy OF such ex-
ceptional virtue fer the cure of malaria
ought to be oni-nendcd and univer-
sally made known. l have therefore
urged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom he. e used it
with like good results in every case,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that l commel.d Kaskine
to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
